The document defines Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and discusses its methods. An EIA is a study that examines the environmental effects of a proposed project. The key steps in an EIA are: scoping to identify key issues, prediction to determine the magnitude of impacts, mitigation to avoid or minimize adverse impacts, management by creating a plan to address impacts, and monitoring environmental indicators over time. The document also identifies the scope, functions, and governing body of PD856, the Code on Sanitation in the Philippines, which prescribes sanitation requirements for food establishments and waste management systems.

The United Nations key environmental indicators over time Conference on the Environment in Stockholm in within a particular geographic area. 1972 and other conventions formalized EIA. The first phase of an environmental assessment is called an Initial Environmental Examination (IEE). IEE is carried out to determine if a proposed project has negative environmental effects and if mitigation measures can be adopted to reduce or eliminate the said effects. When an IEE is able to provide a sound solution to environmental problems, EIA is not necessary. The second phase is EIA. It is a procedure used to examine the environmental consequences of a project whether its beneficial or adverse. EIA is basically based on predictions. These consequences include all relevant aspects such as natural, social, economic, and human environment. Figure 1 shows the generalized EIA flowchart as stated by Pacifica Ogola (2007). The way in which an EIA is carried out in series or steps. The main steps are: • Screening – it is done to determine whether or not a proposal should be subject to EIA, and if so, of what level of detail. The basis of whether or not EIA should be made is the laws and norms of a certain country. 2.
